Description: | CRE WHISTLER, Beatrix; (English; 1857-1896) The estate of James McNeill Whistler includes items of jewellery. The exact ownership of many of the pieces has not yet been established, but they may have been owned by Beatrix Whistler or a member of her or the Whistler family. Garnets are the most dominant stone in the collection, which includes a handsome garniture given to Beatrix Whistler by her husband, and specially mounted by him in a presentation box after her death. See also GLAHA 53447 - 53459.
This sketch of jewellery designs is similar to others in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 46550, 46526) and the National Gallery, Washington D.C. It shows stylised mermaids and fairies. These sketches have been drawn on the back of a printed map of the Chicago International Exhibition (May - October 1893). The Whistlers did not travel to America to attend this.
